If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The ICALEVENT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ICALEVENT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ICALEVENT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ICALEVENT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ICALEVENT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ICALEVENT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ICALEVENT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ICALEVENT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ICALEVENT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ICALEVENT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ICALEVENT file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
